HC Deb 12 March 1918 vol 104 cc186-7W
Mr. F. MEEHAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that the Carrick-on-Shannon No. 1 Sub-Committee granted an old age pension of 5s. to John M'Ternan, No. 1698, of Aughrim, Dowra, county Leitrim, and on appeal it was reduced to 2s., and on further appeal cancelled altogether; and whether, as M'Ternan has very little means of living, an independent inquiry will be made into the source from which the information came, and justice done the applicant?

Mr. DUKE

The Local Government Board inform me that there is no record of an appeal in the case referred to.
